﻿ Tom’s music has been described as “a cross between Buddy Holly and Frank Zappa” by Gajoob magazine, “brilliant and lasting” by the Tucson Weekly, “enduring” by the State Journal-Register, “updated John Prine,” by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and “good enough to smoke” by Supe du Jour of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils. Irwin was the featured artist in the Arts & Entertainment section of the State Journal-Register, the daily paper in Springfield, Illinois on several occasions over the past 15 years. In 2013 he was given a Downtown Music Legend award from Downtown Springfield, INC., the only person to ever receive such an award in the history of the Springfield music scene.

You might laugh and cry, chuckle and squirm, tap your foot and nod your head, but you won’t ignore or walk away untouched by this talented teller of stories through words and music.
